How bout a method to open a MessageBox() type window to let users know what might be happening, only don't expect a response. Just the ability to close the box later in the program, maybe a CloseMessageBox()?

MessageBox( "Tell the user something...", "title", etc..)
Do
fcSomething()
While fcTwiddlingThumbs()
CloseMessageBox( "title" )

Ill second that wiz, would like to see alot more windows functions in Kixtart. A MessageStatus window is a good one. Maybe even a jazzed version of the DOS console implemented as a window. Would like to see InputBox() implemented as a native function. And maybe a ProgressBar status window too.

I like the Idea too. This would help the problem with the dialog box losing control and sitting in the background holding the login script up while the user does not know the box is there waiting for a response.
